by the government to build war careers it's particularly insane when prostitution are out laud people have no recourse to speak up. but also from police who have a bad history of buying prostitutes as well. women who work in prostitution can be murdered and some report being reciprocated in on job it's a feminist issue it looks like the transgender women in our community to educate ourself so our not trauma tiger's people

like katie did. if you don't know what the term transgender means it means if you're native body meets up with the gender and your a man and you're into it your masculine but for the millions of people who fall outside of this category the threat of viewpoints is real particle transgender women are highly up for violence. suzy was related from a men's facility after being there are for a man taikd her. if any other demographic of women were throne in prison for

violence we should be outraged there's a class women in our kult culture that can face job description a class of women so likely to be prisoned with men when they feet back from our attackers they find daily harassment to daily physical violence we must stand for justice for all transgender people and i know you guys are all down with that. thank you very much (clapping.) thank you all for sharing those stories are we ready to dance >> yeah. >> are we ready sylvia to dance. we want to hear you out allowed
